Content Creator - Storyteller Intern

Job Summary

About the Role
Utah is one of the fastest-growing innovation economies in the country, and most of what's happening here never gets told. We're looking for a content creator who can get out into the field, find the stories, and tell them in a way that actually lands on social media.

This isn't a desk job. You'll be at events, talking to founders, researchers, and policymakers, and turning what you find into content that builds Utah's reputation as a place where things get built.

You'll work directly with the Nucleus Institute CEO, who also serves as Commissioner of the Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED). This gives you a direct line into the state's top innovation initiatives and priorities, and a front-row seat to how they unfold.

Responsibilities
What You'll Do

Attend events across the state (launches, summits, demo days, university research showcases, policy briefings) and create real-time content
Identify emerging companies, research breakthroughs, and policy developments worth covering
Produce short-form video, photo, and written content for platforms like Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and X
Help shape an ongoing content calendar and pitch story ideas
Work in collaboration with the Startup State initiative and the Utah Elevated/Convergence initiative at GOED
Track engagement and adjust content strategy based on what's working

What You Bring

A strong social media portfolio with a track record of driving real engagement (not just posting)
Comfort shooting and editing short-form video on a phone
Curiosity about Utah's tech, research, and policy landscape
Ability to work independently, show up to events, and turn raw moments into compelling content fast
Strong writing skills and a good eye for what makes a story worth sharing

Logistics

Flexible hours based on your availability and event schedule, up to 20 hours/week
Some evening and occasional weekend availability needed for events
Reliable transportation to attend events around the state

Minimum Qualifications
Qualifications

High School Diploma, or equivalency
Currently enrolled in a Utah institution of higher education.
Strong analytical and research skills, with the ability to analyze complex information and present it clearly and concisely.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Proactive, self-driven, and able to work independently as well as part of a team.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and familiarity with research databases and tools.
